Why was the arena pairing algorithm worsened permanently?

I mean, the Agadmator arena crashed, but we never had a comparable arena again, and pairings got slowed down since then?

Also please implement better changing of board size? I don't need a board to change it when I know what % I want. And changing should also be done faster, by pressing + or -, it's important for bullet/ultrabullet players to always have the right size of the board. E.g. when you consider zerking back (changing 1+0 to hyper and hyper to ultra) or when the game is headed towards the last seconds timescramble
Hi Lichess,

I love you guys so much. Just love the dedication you have to your community.

My question is about VR, it is the future, I played VR chess game which was like an online chess club but in a VR world.

How long before we have to start thinking seriously about Lichess VR?
Hi Lichess,

I created a Chess Puzzle app in 2008, and published it globally in 2012, it went into a competition run by chess.com in 2018 and a few months afterwards a similar app was published by chess.com.

I told my story on Lichess, and an admin called Chris NoJoke posted on this forum ridiculing me and belittling me, saying my apps are poor, that I was not accurate in what I saying and I was not to be taken seriously.

Is this behaviour from your admin Chris Nojoke acceptable? A few months later Lichess copied chess.com puzzle feature as well as creating some new ideas.

Do you think I deserve an apology from Chris Nojoke?
Why are you removed from leaderboards after already one week of not playing? It should be two weeks. Not playing for a week is nowhere "inactive" especially when you're playing other categories. Two weeks would be some relief.
Imagine trying to maintain leaderboard placements in all variants, that's currently more variants than days to stay in a leaderboard.

I don't know the answer to this question, but try pychess.org for various variants.
